The 113th Congress will go down as the worst in
recent history, according to a new poll.

The CNN/ORC International Poll showed the majority of
Americans think this Congress is the least productive of their lifetime with 73
percent saying lawmakers have done nothing to address the country's problems.
Twenty-eight percent disagreed.

"That sentiment exists among all demographic and
political subgroups. Men, women, rich, poor, young, old - all think this year's
Congress has been the worst they can remember," CNN Polling Director
Keating Holland said. "Older Americans - who have lived through more
congresses - hold more negative views of the 113th Congress than younger
Americans."

The poll shows Americans place the blame for the lack of
productivity almost equally between the two parties. Fifty-two percent of those
surveyed blame Democrats - which control the Senate - for the lack of progress
while 54 percent fault Republicans, which hold the majority in the House.
President Barack Obama doesn't escape blame, either. Fifty-four percent said
they feel the president's policies have not accomplished their goals.
